Tips from RVers
Site selection for privacy: Choose your site strategically at Blanton Creek Campground. "Quiet lovely small campground. We had a very private site and loved it," mentions a reviewer, though others note "Sites are on the smallish side but well shaded."
Level sites for larger rigs: Check site descriptions carefully. "Small rigs can pretty much enjoy any spot but larger rigs need to be sure that the site is level for the length of the rig. Some spots have a driveway that goes downhill from the camper and others go uphill from the camper which might be an issue for 5th wheels," advises a Blanton Creek camper.
Full hookup availability: Many sites offer complete services. At Franklin D Roosevelt State Park, campers appreciate the convenience: "Sites pretty level and gravel. Bathroom facilities were very clean, with showers and laundry. Placed well around the campground."
